Remote Sensing / GIS
Remote sensing is the science of collecting data from objects without touching them. From inches to infinity, we depend on sensors of electromagnetic energy or sound waves to infer properties of target objects. A geographic information system (GIS) is used to display remotely sensed data in a spatial context. The GIS answers questions about location – where is my object and what is next to it? Specfically, GIS researchers at WSU are studying relationships between mountain vegetation and the soils that form there and between reflectance from cropped soils and their vulnerability to erosion.
